Teacher Appreciation Week: May 4 - 8th

Teacher Appreciation Week is a national event where schools around the country show appreciation to their teachers and staff. While we may not be able to show our thanks in person this year with the usual lunches, raffles, and decorations, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation to our teachers more than ever.

BEST PTO will be showing our appreciation in the following ways:
  • "Thank You Messages" for Davis and Lane Teachers (via Google Drive)
  • Teacher Appreciation Week Gift Cards for all Teachers and Staff
  • Supply Reimbursements for all Teachers

How to Send Your "Thanks" To Davis and Lane Teachers/Staff

We have created two Google documents, one for each school, where families can express their thanks to any teachers, specialists, staff members or administrators they choose.  This is your chance to be creative!  Add a photo, a picture of artwork, a video, or a special message for any and all people at your school who you want to show appreciation for.  You can create your own slide or add onto a slide started by someone else.  When the document is complete, we will share all of the thoughts of appreciation with the teachers and staff at the two schools. 
 
Please keep in mind that whatever you share will be visible by the whole community.  If you would prefer to email a private message directly to a teacher or staff member, that is also an option.  Please try not to change the work submitted by other people while you are working in the document.  If you see any inappropriate content, please email us at best.pto.bedford@gmail.com so we can remove it.

Teacher Appreciation Week Gift Cards

Teacher Appreciation Week usually includes raffle prizes and meals provided to all of the staff at both Davis and Lane schools. In lieu of these activities, we will be presenting all staff with e-gift cards as a token of our sincere appreciation for all of their hard work.

These gift cards are funded through the generous support to our Appreciation Fund from you, our parents. Thank you for your support!

Teacher Supply Reimbursements

Formerly called "Sponsor-A-Class", this program provides teachers and teaching specialists gift cards so they can purchase teaching tools and supplies that are not included in the school budget. Many of our teachers spend their own money to purchase items to improve their classrooms and support curriculum.

This year we will send all Davis and Lane teachers e-gift cards to reimburse them for the out-of-pocket expenses mentioned above.

Again, these gift cards are funded through the generous support to our Appreciation Fund from you, our parents. Thank you for your support!

Many of you have already donated to the Appreciation Fund throughout the year and we thank you!
We also understand that many families are not able to donate at this time, so we are not requesting donations.  Those who wish to donate can do so at the link above.
